  • "We have become a grandmother" is a phrase uttered by Margaret Thatcher, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, in 1989. It has attracted notoriety for her usage of the royal we. Thatcher made the remark on 3 March 1989 following the birth of her first grandchild, Michael Thatcher, the child of her son Mark Thatcher and his wife Diane Burgdorf. Thatcher made the statement to press gathered outside 10 Downing Street. Her grandson was born close to the tenth anniversary of the start of Thatcher's premiership. The academic Heather Nunn wrote in her 2002 book that the birth of Michael showed that "As a grandmother her maternal credentials were extended a generation to fuel [her] political vision for the next twenty years". Dean Palmer, in his 2015 book , wrote that Thatcher emerged from Downing Street at "great speed" and that she was dressed in "oversized" pearl earrings, a purple coat trimmed with fur and "blonde hair as rigid as fibreglass". He likened her appearance to that of Cruella de Vil. Thatcher's Downing Street press secretary, Bernard Ingham, wrote in his diary that he would "never live down" the incident, as prime ministers are "thought to be intensively rehearsed before they utter a word to the world", but that the incident "add[ed] to the gaiety of the nation".
